Playing Polynesia, just want to defend my islands and let my Maio help with a culture win. I'm thinking just Melee, since I don't need to shoot any land-based opponents, and I can heal a lot since I'm defending at home. Extra sight/movement means I can flank, and don't need to worry about losing my squishy ranged units. What do you think?
Navel Units for Tiny Map Turtling (Polynesia with Great Lighthouse): Are melee, ranged or a combination the most effective?

Early game pure melee is absolutely the way to go for pure naval defense, but once you get frigates I'd probably recommend getting a few, just making sure they are well defended, usually near the land to reduce routes of attack against them. In the late game aircraft should be able to put in a lot of work, in a way once again obsoleting the naval ranged, but to some extent even being more powerful then your naval melee
